This gluten and dairy-free coconut macaroon recipe is a family favorite. The recipe scales up or down very easily to I simply adjust quantities depending on the occasion. Over the years I’ve made notes of the ratio of ingredients for different quantities, so I’m sharing that here as a table.
Coconut macaroons (adapted from a David Lebovitz recipe)
| Yield: 20 macaroons | Yield: 25 macaroons | Yield: 30 macaroons | Yield: 60 macaroons |
| 3 large egg whites | 4 large egg whites | 5 large egg whites | 10 large egg whites |
| 210g caster sugar | 285g caster sugar | 350g caster sugar | 700g caster sugar |
| 165g dessicated coconut | 225g dessicated coconut | 280g dessicated coconut | 560g dessicated coconut |
| 30g rice flour | 40g rice flour | 50g rice flour | 100g rice flour |
| 1 tablespoon honey | 1 tablespoon honey | 2 tablespoons honey | 4 tablespoons honey |
| pinch of salt | pinch of salt | pinch of salt | large pinch of salt |
| ½ teaspoon vanilla extract | ½ teaspoon vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon vanilla extract | 2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
Combine the egg whites, caster sugar, dessicated coconut (make sure this is unsweetened), rice flour, honey and salt in a large skillet or pan and place on the hob over low heat. Allow the ingredients to melt together, stirring constantly, until the mixture has a porridge-like texture and begins to brown on the bottom. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract and allow to cool.
The batter should at least be cooled to room temperature but for best results refrigerate for several hours or overnight (the batter will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week, and according to David Lebovitz can also be frozen for up to two months).
Preheat your oven to 170°C/325°F/gas mark 3.
Using your hands, form the batter into balls, around the size of golf balls. Place on a non-stick baking tray (or two) in evenly spaced rows and press the sides with your fingers to make a slight pyramid shape. (This is a fun task for small helpers!)
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tops of the macaroons have lightly browned.
In an airtight container, the macaroons will keep for up to one week.

Those look good. I like that you gave the measurements for larger quantities as well.
